I am currently on the verge of purchasing a stock 2006 NC1 and after doing hours of research on various forums I would like to begin my modifications with suspension (shocks, springs and sway bars) upgrades.
Even though I did a fair amount of research I am looking for some final input before I place my order. I have kind of laid out my choices for each part (shocks, springs and sway bars) below, but if you feel like I left out a good option please feel free to let me know.
Also, keep in mind this car will be my daily driver 80% of the time. I am looking for a balance of improvement, but without sacrificing complete comfort.
Finally, I am not interested in coil-overs at this time.
Shocks
Koni : ($580-$600) : Sports, I have pretty much decided on these as my shock choice.
Springs
Progress Technology : ($187) : Seem to be the popular choice, but too soft?
Flyin' Miata : ($289) : Seem more aggressive, but too stiff?
Sway Bars
Progress Technology : ($349.00) : Seem more aggressive, but too much?
Flyin' Miata : ($249.00) : Seem to be a popular choice
Racing Beat : ($291.65) : Seem to be a popular choice
Mazda : ($200.00) : MX-8
It also appears that a few packages are options which would allow be to save a little money for further modifications.
Packages
Flyin' Miata Stage 1 : ($762.35) : Koni sports and FM springs
Flyin' Miata Stage 2 : ($979.40) : Koni sports, FM springs and FM sway bars
Finally, are their any other components I should consider? End-links? Bumpstops?
Again, if I missed a choice you think I should consider, please let me know.
Thank you for your help!
